[action] Sorry about the length, but I felt like I had to describe this thing in great detail.

welding them together so it doesn't all collapse when i unfreeze it

bit of a pain with this many objects but what can you do

[After a minute or two of continuous firing, the bolts have finally hit every object from bottom to top. He fires a few more pairs of shots at the very top and very bottom of the structure, just to be sure.

The complete structure is, as expected, an eyesore. The stack of dirty dumpsters comprising the main tower, the wooden crates and rusty metal barrels forming the top, the large amount of wall clocks where there should be big, singular clock faces; it is one of a kind, but for good reason. It is only a clock tower in the loosest sense, in that it is a tower and there are clocks. It is noticeably smaller than a clock tower should be, barely reaching a height of five stories. There is no entrance, but that hardly matters considering the complete lack of anything within its "walls." Not that anything could be there in the first place; there's barely enough space for the average toddler in the base of the tower as it is. There are outcroppings around the top the of the structure that people might, in theory, be able to traverse and do some sightseeing from; of course, not only are these "outcroppings" (i.e. tops of crates that aren't completely covered by the crates above) barely big enough to support this, there's no practical way to even reach them, at least for the average human being. Even if someone were to find their way to the top, the safety problems don't stop with a lack of stable standing space; throughout the entire structure, there are visible gaps between the objects used to form it. In addition to being a blatant violation of physics, it makes traversing the structure a dangerous proposition, as legs may easily fall into the gaps, possibly trapping the poor soul who simply wanted to look at the world from up high. Finally, and perhaps worst of all, it is unable to actually tell the time, rendering it utterly worthless for the purpose it should be fulfilling.

In short, it is an abomination of architecture only excused by the fact that it was never intended to be anything but what it actually is (though what the actual intention behind it was remains a mystery to even the man who constructed it). It is perhaps better suited as a piece of abstract art rather than an actual building.

Suddenly, an odd noise rings out and the tower drops a short distance to the ground, the objects rigidly connected to each other despite no visual indication that this should be. It sways back and forth a bit, but it does not fall.]


so do you want this thing put anywhere in particular
